Contents v Preface 1 Overview 20 About Doing Business: measuring for impact 30 Research on the effects of business regulations Doing Business 2014 is the 11th in a series of annual reports investigating the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 189 economies—from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe—and over time. Regulations affecting 11 areas of the life of a business are covered: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, resolving insolvency and employing workers. The employing workers data are not included in this year’s ranking on the ease of doing business. Data in Doing Business 2014 are current as of June 1, 2013. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms of business regulation have worked, where and why. Case studies 41 Why are minimum capital requirements a concern for entrepreneurs? 46 What role should risk-based inspections play in construction? 52 Tackling high electricity connection costs: Trinidad and Tobago’s new approach 56 Implementing electronic tax filing and payments in Malaysia 60 Implementing trade single windows in Singapore, Colombia and Azerbaijan 66 Improving court efficiency: the Republic of Korea’s e-court experience Topic notes 72 Starting a business 77 Dealing with construction permits 82 Getting electricity 86 Registering property 90 Getting credit 96 Protecting investors 100 Paying taxes 105 Trading across borders 110 Enforcing contracts 114 Resolving insolvency 118 Annex: employing workers 123 References 130 Data notes 155 Ease of doing business and distance to frontier 159 Summaries of Doing Business reforms in 2012/13 173 Country tables 237 Employing workers data 248 Acknowledgments
